Do Now 9/29

An editorial is an article in the newspaper presenting the opinion of a publisher, or editor. 

Most of my teachers explained that Wikipedia is a website that shouldn't be trusted because it could give false information. Also they have said that anyone could change the information as long as they have an account. My teachers recommend me to not use Wikipedia because they always mention that it could give false information, and it's not a trusted website to research on. Some of my classmates have asked before if they could use Wikipedia as their last source if they can't find any information, and they said it's alright as long as it's the very last source for information. 

After this article my Wikipedia thoughts haven't changed because I agree with my teachers that it's not a trusted website, and that anyone could change the information to false facts. However, I do believe that Wikipedia is a good website if you can't find any information on a topic. In other words, Wikipedia may help you on research, but it's very risky.
